Buying a first time car - what would you recommend?
I am a 21 y/o paramedic in SE London. Looking to buy a car for traffic driving (12 miles daily) and occasional motorway use. Three years no claims as a named driver. Something small nippy and stylish.

Probably a Suzuki Swift. Smaller and narrower, a Hyundai i10. Fashionable and rorty, a Fiat 500 TwinAir (NOT a 1.2). And don't forget the fun driving Volkswagen Up, SEAT Mii, Skoda Citigo, Citroen C1 1.2 and Peugeot 1.0 1.2.
